Carlisle, 24 Pelham Street, Hastings
Hastings pub history index
This is the Pelham Arms in 1890 and
earlier. The Carlisle Hotel (the back of the pub) in about 1924 trading under the name
Carlisle Saloon. The pub has been rebuilt several times, the extension on the
left hand side was added in 1920 and replaced the former beer garden. This view
of the pub and its surroundings are now unrecognisable. The buildings to the
right of the pub were demolished in 1930 when a new road and sea wall was built.
The extension was also removed at this time and the pub was again rebuilt with
flat roofs. The buildings to the left suffered bomb damage during WW2 and were
all gone by the mid 1960s. After many years as a car park, this area is now
occupied by a residential complex. The Carlisle is the only building in this
photo to survive albeit in a different form. This pub was established in around
1820 as the Pelham Arms and renamed the Carlisle Hotel in 1892. It was rebuilt
in its current form in around 1930.
Now simply called the Carlisle (regulars refer to it as the Carlie) it is a
popular, friendly pub with live music (mostly heavy Rock) most weekends. There
is a large function room with a second bar upstairs also with provision for live
music. Please don't be put off by the appearance of the regulars (mostly
bikers), they honestly are a great crowd and very friendly. ***
